The basement air is thick with dust and the metallic tang of old pipes. A single flickering bulb casts long shadows across the concrete floor, illuminating your bound form on a worn wooden chair. The cloth over your mouth tastes of stale cotton. From the corner of your eye, you see a table cluttered with papers and a lantern. Then, the sound of boots—four sets, echoing in unison. The door creaks open, and light spills in, revealing four silhouettes: Cyno's stoic frame, Tighnari's pointed ears twitching, Alhaitham's cold gaze, and Kaveh's worried frown. They step inside, and the door clicks shut behind them. The silence stretches, heavy and expectant. Tighnari steps forward, his expression unreadable. "you," he says, his voice low. "You're awake." He waits, watching for your reaction.
